We're trying to get back into the swing of things after our vacation. We really enjoyed so much of the food we had in London, the curries, the pub food & some fabulous Spanish Tapas.Pub lunch in ShabbingtonWild Boar & Pork Stew at Hampton Court. Potato chips in flavors like Cajun Squirrel, Chili & Chocolate and Crispy Duck & Hoisin (We didn't see these until the airport so we didn't get to try them)

I'm actually really happy to be back in my own kitchen cooking our meals. On to Menu Planning Monday...(You might notice we picked up a copy of Jamie Oliver's magazine while in the UK & are trying a few things from it.)

Chicken & Leek Pie - from Jamie Magazine

Pork Souvlaki - We love this recipe from Kalofagas. Maybe we'll even do it on the grill since the snow is gone.

It all looks good for the coming week. And I thought when I went to Nova Scotia that crab flavored and ketchup flavored potato chips were unique. Its so funny that it looks almost identical to Lays packaging.

I'm not a big chip eater, but I love seeing the different flavors in other countries. I'll usually break down and try them. In Brazil we have turkey flavored and grilled chicken. If you close your eyes you'd swear you had a piece of chicken in your mouth and not a chip. It is really strange. :)
